Abstract
Water and soil moisture management are very important factors in strawberry cultivation, and they directly affect strawberry growth and yield. Full moisture and suitable soil moisture can promote strawberry growth and grow faster and higher; proper soil moisture can maintain soil nutrients and prevent soil loss, thus maintaining soil fertility. In addition, adequate moisture and suitable soil moisture can make the strawberry grow more healthily, thus improving its quality and reducing the occurrence of hollow fruit. Therefore, in strawberry cultivation, reasonable water and soil moisture management is very important, growers need to carry out timely irrigation and drainage according to the growth of strawberry, to ensure the growth and yield of strawberry. Its disadvantages include the following: vulnerable to diseases and pests, high requirements for climatic conditions, high requirements for climatic conditions and high production costs. As a new agricultural technology, hydroponics can save land resources and reduce land pollution by cultivating plants in containers instead of planting plants on the land.
